I didn't see any threads regarding these newly announced games, so I created a thread myself.

What?

Pokemon Omega Ruby Version and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Version are the next games in the main Pokemon series. They are remakes of the Game Boy Advance games Pokemon Ruby and Pokemon Sapphire, as Nintendo has been releasing remakes of older Pokemon games for some time now, like with Pokemon FireRed and Pokemon SoulSilver. The games were announced on May 7th, 2014 via a teaser trailer released by Nintendo.

When?

The games will be released on November, 21st, 2014 in all locations except for Europe, in which the games will be released seven days later.

What's new?

The games will be released on the Nintendo 3DS handheld console, which means that the story you experienced on your Game Boy Advance will be greatly enhanced with respect to graphics. In addition, new Mega Evolutions for Sceptile and Swampert have already been confirmed, and other Mega Evolutions will most likely be coming. Also, if you take a closer look at the box art, you will see that Groudon and Kyogre have some differences about their appearance. This is because those are actually new forms of Groudon and Kyogre, and can be accessed through a method called Primal Reversion, which apparently is related to Mega Evolution.

Your thoughts?

All in all, I'm extremely excited for these games, and I cannot wait until they're released. What are your guys' thoughts? Post below!

Mega Sceptile is now Grass/Dragon type, and Swampert stays the same but gets the ability Swift Swim, if any of you have kept up with the vids from Nintendo and info from Korokoro, also Sableye is a Mega. No new info yet on which others we can expect to have mega forms.

I find this to be incredibly exciting. Primal Reversion is an interesting concept, and I really like how they're making Mega Evolutions available to all the starters (Mega Blaziken being avaliable in Pokemon X and Y). Mega Sableye is also quite intriguing, according to Bulbapedia when it becomes Mega Sableye its Defense and Special Attack stats increase while its Speed stat decreases. Now, if its ability was still Prankster the Speed decrease wouldn't be much of a problem but its ability becomes Magic Bounce when it evolves. That brings a number of possibilities, and I'm interested to see whether Mega Sableye would be a viable choice instead of Prankster Sableye.

So Mega Sceptile gets a new type, and Mega Swampert and Mega Blaziken get new abilities. I still think Mega Blaziken is by far the best choice out of the three, due to its Speed Boost ability. Mega Swampert with its Swift Swim ability sounds nice, but ever since the infinite weather was taken away such abilities have kind of lost their power. It would be interesting to experiment with nonetheless, and I actually might end up choosing Mudkip as my starter since I already have Mega Blaziken, and Sceptile never really caught my interest to be honest.

Anyways, I am very excited for these games. Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire are my third favorite Pokemon games (my first being Pokemon Gold and Silver, second being X and Y), and I can't wait to experience the games on the 3DS handheld console. X and Y were already huge jumps in terms of graphics as they were the first Pokemon games on the 3DS, and as I assume Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire will be utilizing similar graphical engines it's going to be really exciting to play through the games. I can't wait!

More Mega Evolutions revealed by Nintendo, plus a bit of info on the contests, also Shiny Metang Mystery Gift event on November 21st with it's Evo stone. The vids will show Mega Altaria, Salamence, and Lopunny

Not only that but Mega Audino has been revealed as well, also above i made a mistake, the mystery gift is a Shiny Beldum, not Metang, with it's mega stone. Vid for the new mega bellow, also Mega Slowbro was leaked, with also the confirmed mega Audino. Audino looks okay but Slowbro looks wrong in so many ways.
